lukeaxl Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Luna Covers Sweet Child o Mine by Guns N RosesIf you can look past the bands ridiculous persona and Slashs stupid hat, then its not too difficult to acknowledge that Guns N Roses created an excellent song with 1987′s Sweet Child o Mine. The tracks lyrics were composed by vocalist Axl Rose for his girlfriend at the time, model Erin Everly. Never mind that Rose once approached Everly with a gun saying that he would kill himself if she did not marry him, or that he stalked her for a year after they broke up the lyrics are sincere and touching.Despite its positive aspects, the song is still a dated 80s metal ballad with a shrill vocalist. For years, I wanted to enjoy listening to this song, but simply was unable to. But in 1997, indie pop band Luna did what performers such as Sheryl Crow and Texas couldnt: they created a beautiful, dreamy version of the song, finally fitting the lyrics to a musical arrangement that makes sense. The person that wrote this must be in a loony bin somewhere. What a tool, it's not a patch on gnr's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneisKing1389 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) I like the Luna cover. I don't understand why it has to be viewed as better or worse. It's different. They don't sound the same as GN'R. Their cover doesn't sound the same as GN'R.I'd agree with a lot of whoever wrote the first part. It's a dreamy love song and if that person wanted to hear it set to music that fits the iconic dreamy love song style, Luna did it.
